Keynote Title: The Theory Crisis in Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract: Theory is supposed to be invaluable in HCI research. However, the actual role of theory remains underwhelming, to the extent that I argue there is a crisis of theory in HCI. In this talk, I will first present data suggesting that HCI researchers rarely build theory, actively use it in papers, or raise implications for it. I will then discuss how to resolve the tension between the perceived importance of theory and its actual role. Ways to improve the use and construction of theory will be discussed, as well as some tools for thinking about theory that might help HCI researchers.
